Bret Bielema is unbothered by Illinois missing out on Week 3's AP Top 25 Poll.
Coach Bret Bielema couldn't care less about Illinois missing out out on an AP Top 25 ranking despite knocking off previously unbeaten Kansas last Saturday night in Champaign.
While the Illini are still seeking postseason consistency, Bielema said Monday his team is unfazed by being left out of the rankings. He pointed out long-timeBob Asmussen as one of the few journalists who had given the Illini their due diligence for a 2-0 start, the first under Bielema. Bielema added his players have took notice of the national recognition, which does not let them hinder that away from their goals.
